Kentarou-san, The MSAA and IA2 dependencies will be categorized as "exempt pre-req". Thank you for asking and I apologize for the delay, Bjorn Kentarou Fukuda wrote: Dear Technology PMC members, I received the guideline for the 3rd party dependencies when I tried to use the OOo in ACTF (http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/technology-pmc/msg00761.html). Then I found that I might need to get another approval for my previous contribution CQ1867 (https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1867). In the CQ, we have a component "accessibility service" that provides a way to access accessibility information from applications via the accessibility APIs (Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) and IAccessible2 (IA2)). To use this function, we assume the existence of these accessibility information providers. MSAA is a standard component of the Windows. So, our component can always get accessibility information via MSAA in a standard Windows environment. In addition to this, our component get IA2 information if an information provider of IA2 exists in the user environment. I would like to know how we can categorize this dependency. In addition to this, the specification of IA2 API is published under LGPL (http://accessibility.freestandards.org/a11yspecs/ia2/docs/html/). In the contribution, we do not use any LGPL material (such as IDL file, etc.) to build the code, but we use their identifiers (IDs, method names, etc.) to call APIs. Do I need to create additional CQ to use these APIs? If there are another actions I need to take, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your support.
